Always Delayed Everything.

There is such Il thing as always be-
ing In an uncomfortable hurry, but
there is also the other extreme which
stands almost fatally in the way of sue
cess. 1t is well set forth in the fol-
lowing from the Brooklyn Magazine
1t is said of one of the Rothschilds
that on one occasion he was asked to
extend some help to business man
suffering from Il temporary embarrass-
ment, but the great banker refused.
He was pressed to give his reasons,
and he admitted the merchant had
abundant assets. Mr.. ROthschild said
that he had noticed him for years, and
had observed he always delayed every
thing until the very last moment, re-
marked that IL man who would thus
regularly put off every thing was an
unsafe business man. That merchant,
no doubt was always in II hurry, yet
was ever wasting time. The success
full business man is that one who be-
gins his preparations in time, and not
that one who has to hurry at the last
minute. The man who is ready to at
tend to matter of business in the
forenoon but puts it off until the after
noon is wasting time, and will never
prove Il success.

A Grinding Monopoly.
SDr;no6eld Union,

A gallon of the best whisky may be
bought for $3.50 to 81. Reckoning a
saloon "drink" at gill, which is prob
ably more than the average, there are
thirty-twO drinks in a gallon. In the
cheapest saloons, a drink costs ten
cents, which makes the saloon keep
er's profit on gallon of whisky from
SI.20 to SI.4O, provided he sells the
best liquor, which he does not. In the
high toned saloons the price of drinks
varies from Is to % cents, giving the
rumscller profit of from 80 to SO per
gallon on all that he retails. If men
were asked to pay such profits on flour,
groceries, coal and clothing, what a
clamor they would make against the
fiendish mOnOpOlies that Cypress the
poor. The liquor saloon, licensed for
the sake of revenue to the city, takes
it's license fee ont of it's patrons in a
few days and then enjoys grinding
monopoly for the rest of the year.
There is no other traffic, trade or in
dustry in the country that has such
privileges for expressing the poor, and
any corporation that undertook to
reap such profits from its patrons or
employees as the saloon keepers gath
er from their customers, would drop
out of sight for want of business speed

Sleep a Preventive of Headache.

A scientific writer says: "Sleep, if
taken ut the right moment, will pre-
vent an attack of nervous headache.
If the subjects of such headaches will
watch the symptoms of its coming.
they can notice that it begins with a
feeling of WEAKNESS or heaviness. This
is the time sleep of an hour, or even
two, as nature guides, will effectually
prevent the headache. If not taken
just then, it will be too late, for, after
the attack is fairly under way, it is
impossible to get sleep till far into the
night, perhaps. 1t is so common in
these days for doctors to forbid having
their patients walked to take medicines
if they are asleep when the hour comes
round, that the people have learned
the lesson pretty well, and they gener-
ally know that sleep is better for the
sick than medicine. But it is no so
well known that sleep is n wonderful
preventive of disease-better than ton
ic regulators and stimulants."

1t is related that Makart, the great
Vicnnese painter, is even more tact

silent in seven languages. An Ameri

way to get OIL terms with the artist
would be to play chess with him at the
cafe to which he resOrted nightly,
watched his opportunity, and when
Makart's opponent rose, slipped into
his chair. At last his dream was about

Sisters, don't put the boys things
away! Let the boys hang up their
own hats and coats and put away their
bats, balls, tennis rackets, school
books, etc. If they drop them i'll the
hall or on the parlOr floor, tell them,
good -naturedly, that mother, nor sis
ter, nor maid, is going to put them in
their places. They are dear good fell
lows, and yOn don't mind doing it one
bit; indeed you rather like it. But
you must deny yourselves this pleas
ure. Habits are masters. You don't
want your brother to live all his life
under the dominion of disOrderly hab
it's. You and your mother ought to
cure him.
1t would be a good plan if every boy
could have the training of IA West
Point cadet in Orderliness. No I'M
tidiness allowed in his room! Ev-
cry inch of it must be in perfect order;
and he must put it so and keep it so
himself. How Independent and COM

A word or two now, to the mothers.
Mothers are apt to let their boys go.
"Sallie," says mother to Bob's sister,
"put away your things, keep your
drawers in order and while you are
about it do put away Bob's things,
too"
Let me whisper il word in Sallie's
ear: | think you will be forgiven if
YOU rebel, gently and argumentatively,
against maternal authority when it
commands you to look after "BOb's

put both bed-clOthes and mattress to
air before leaving their rooms in the
morning.

WHAT A WIFE OUGHT TO KNOW
Contemporary Revielt

Very few men have the time or the
patience to make Il shilling go Us far as
it can. Women have especially Il
woman whose one thought is to save
her husband from having burdens
greater than he can bear, to help him
by that quiet carefulness in money
matters which alone gives an easy
mind and real enjoyment of life, to
take care of the pennies, in short, that
he may have the pounds for all his
lawful needs, and lawful pleasures, too.
Surely there can he no sharper pang
to Il loving wife than to see her hus-
band staggering under the weight of
family life, worked almost tn death in
order to dodge the "wOlf at the door,"
jOyleSs in the present, terrified ut the
future, and yet all this might have
been averted if the wife had only
known the value and use of money,
and been able To keep what her hus-
band earned, to "cut her coat accord
ing to her CLOTH" for any income is
''limited" unless you can teach your
self To live within it, to "w;Iste not"
and therefore to swami not" But
this is not always the wOman's fault.
Many men insist blindly on a style of
living which their means will not al
low, and many wife has been cruelty
blamed for living at a rate of expendi
ture unwarranted by her husbands
means, and which his pecuniary con
ditiOn made absolutely dishonest, had
she known il But she did not know
it, he being too careless or too coward
~ to tell her, and she had not the sense
Co inquire or to find out.
Every mistress of household, es-
pecially every mother, ought to find
out what the family income is, and
where il comes from, and thereby pre-
vent all needless extravaganza. Half
the miserable or disgraceful bankrupt
cies would never happen if the wives
had the courage To stand firm and in
sist on knowing enough about the fam
lily income to expend it prOpOrtiOnally,
10 restrain, as every wife should, a too
lavish husband, or failing that, To stop
herself out of all Injuries which she
cannot righteOusly afford. Above all,
to bring up her children in u tender
carefulness that refuses to mulct "the
governor" out of one unnecessary half
penny, or To waste the money he works
80 hard for, in their own thoughtless
amusements.

Frost Bitten Feet.
Good HotfsekeeDin0.


If the feet get very much chilled
number of times, or frozen, they
should be pat into tepid water until
feeling returns. When frozen they are
generally very white, all of the blood
having been driven from the surface,
and if frozen repeatedly become ten
der and painful. They swell with ev-
cry colder change of the weather, or
crack open an bleed between the toes;
again, the heels and large toe joints
are the only parts affected, except II
general heat and swelling, or painful
itching. The feet in the morning are
very sore shoes which were comfort
able enough yesterday, are at least
three sizes too small to-day. If the
large toe joints remain swollen for sew
eral weeks they press against the
shoes and form very painful buniOns.
A hot bOrax water bath of half an
hour with thorough rubbing with
glycerine is good. The feet should be

otherwise they will stay damp. Then

Heroism in Humble Life.
PhiIddelDhid Record.

There is not storm, a fire, a ship
wreck or railroad accident which
does not develop some act of herOism
or self-sacrifice. The five men who in
storm went from the steamship
KnickerbOcker to help the crew of a
disabled schooner off the Delaware
Capes knew that they were taking
their lives in their hands, and yet they
never faltered. They persisted and
while they may never be remembered
save within the circle in which they
moved, their act was as noble and un-
selfish us any which has ever been told
in song or story. A nation hOnOrs its
brave who rode to death at Balaklava-
''theirs not to make reply, theirs not
to reason why, theirs but to do and
die" even with the thought that some
one had Numbered (; but such courage
is fairly transcribed by the humble
hero who hears no bugle call and yet
who willingly dies for men.
